Product Description

This text starts by covering basic public address systems and audio engineering principles and considers acoustics and its effect on the PA systems. It then discusses microphones, mixers and amplifiers, loudspeakers, distribution systems, live music and how to achieve reliability. Test equipment is investigated, with an analysis of what is essential for PA work and what is merely useful. The book concludes with a chapter on common faults and how to deal with them, plus the latest safety regulations.

Interesting book for those involved in PA design 23 Nov 2008

By Chris Lambell

Format:Hardcover

A worthwhile read for the engineer although this book is probably of more use to the hands on installer. There are two further books on public address available by the same author (possibly more?) which are also worth a read - This however I believe is the best book of the series. Is the Author still alive?
